Road markings recovery schedule

Road markings inform road users of on street parking restrictions and traffic management.

We have an obligation to maintain road markings on the network to make things clear for road users. It also helps us to make sure that we carry out on street parking consistently.

How we work

We'll place advanced notices and on street 48 hours before work begins. Lining work can be affected by the weather, this may sometimes cause a delay.

We work zone by zone. While we know that some road markings degrade more or more quickly on some streets rather than others, once a zone is done we will not need to repeat the work for many years. We still do minor repairs when and where they are needed.

It is more cost-effective to do the work zone by zone, and complete each zone in full. This avoids extra costs from contractors compared to if we do work every time it is needed.

If you park your vehicle on a street where we have scheduled work

We ask that you move your vehicle, where possible, to a nearby street before the scheduled work begins. If you don't, we may have to relocate your vehicle.

We only relocate vehicles as a last resort. If we relocate a vehicle we'll move it to a road as close as possible to the original location. We don't issue any penalty charge or fine if we relocate your vehicle. We make Sussex Police aware of all vehicle relocations.

If your vehicle has moved and you are unsure where it is, you can call us on 0345 603 5469.
